- 1:13Okay, so this Friday,
- 1:16nothing
- 1:17ceases to
- 1:19amaze me, I guess.
- 1:20The hits just keep going,
- 1:23keep coming,
- 1:25and we're just going to keep
- 1:26Keep rolling with the punches, as they say.
- 1:30But let's talk Biden.
- 1:32You know, I haven't focused in on Biden for a while.
- 1:35He's a lame duck president.
- 1:37He's on his way out.
- 1:38But it seems like this guy is doing everything he can to cause as much damage as possible before he leaves office.
- 1:46Now, there's a few things I want to address.
- 1:49It's not just all about Biden on this show.
- 1:50but I do want to talk about Biden's gracious nature in just granting so many pardons using
- 1:59his powers of clemency. I mean, after his son, he probably just said, hell with it. Let's go ahead
- 2:05and just forgive everybody. And there's even discussion of him granting preemptive pardons.
- 2:14Now, what does that mean, preemptive? Well, that means he's going to pardon people for
- 2:19just in case, just because you haven't been convicted of anything yet.
- 2:23You may be suspected, but nothing's happened.
- 2:27You haven't been brought to trial or convicted, but you know what?
- 2:30I'm going to give you a pardon.
- 2:33It's a get out of jail free card, basically.
- 2:35If you played Monopoly before, you get that card.
- 2:38You land on that square and you get that get out of jail free card.
- 2:42Well, you usually save that for later, right?
- 2:43For just in case you land in jail.
- 2:46Pretty much that's a preemptive pardon.
- 2:47But let's talk about what just recently happened.
- 2:52So recently, honestly, just a few days ago, Biden commutes 1,500 jail sentences, grants pardons for 39 others as well.
- 3:03And this is considered the largest single-day grant of clemency by any president.
- 3:09But what's interesting are some of the individuals that he has granted pardons to.
- 3:15Of note, there have been two Chinese spies.
- 3:20Now, I'm horrible at pronouncing these names, but bear with me.
- 3:23There's Yanjun.
- 3:25I think Yanjun is spelled Y-A-N-J-U-N, Zhu, which is X-U.
- 3:33This person was sentenced to 240 months imprisonment.
- 3:38Okay.
- 3:38Now, here's the offense.
- 3:41Conspiracy to commit economic espionage.
- 3:43conspiracy to commit trade secret theft, attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud,
- 3:50attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.
- 3:54Another spy, this is Xi Shokuan, I believe, spelled J-I first name, last name, C-H-A-O-Q-U-N,
- 4:0696 months imprisonment, offenses, conspiracy to defraud the United States,
- 4:12impersonating agents of foreign governments,
- 4:15statements, or entries generally.
- 4:20So this person has also been pardoned.
- 4:22But let's move on to the other egregious acts
- 4:27that are being just granted clemency for or pardon for.
- 4:32Of note, here's another Chinese citizen,
- 4:36Shanlin Jean, or Shanlin Jean, it's S-H-A-N-L-I-N, first name and last name is J-I-N.
- 4:46This person was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment, five years supervised release,
- 4:53$30,500 in restitution. And what did this person get charged for? Well, possession of child
- 5:00pornography. Now, it wasn't just possession of child pornography. You see, Shanlin Jean
- 5:06again a Chinese citizen
- 5:08he pled guilty
- 5:09after it was found
- 5:12that he had over
- 5:1447,000
- 5:16child porn
- 5:18images found on his computer
- 5:19again
- 5:20this person was pardoned
- 5:24and was found to have
- 5:2547,000
- 5:28child porn images found
- 5:30on his computer
- 5:32alright Joe
- 5:34fucking make it make sense here.
- 5:37Why would you pardon
- 5:38a child pornographer
- 5:40or someone who supports
- 5:43child pornography?
- 5:44And why would anyone save 47,000
- 5:47pictures of child
- 5:49porn if you're not intending
- 5:51to distribute said pictures
- 5:53of child porn?
- 5:57Another gem of a person
- 5:59who's been
- 5:59who's had their sentence
- 6:03commuted
- 6:03is the notorious kids or cash judge
- 6:10who was convicted of imprisoning juveniles for kickbacks.
- 6:16And guess how much those kickbacks added up to?
- 6:19They added up to over $2.1 million.
- 6:23$2.1 million.
- 6:26Like, wait a minute.
- 6:28you're rewarding a judge who is on the take
- 6:33for imprisoning juveniles
- 6:34and getting kickbacks for the tune of 2.1 million?
- 6:40This judge's name, or now former judge's name,
- 6:46is Michael Conahan.
- 6:50And again, this person was convicted
- 6:54and found guilty of being involved in a scheme
- 6:58in which he sent more than 2,500 children between 2003 and 2008 to jail.
- 7:08Now, I'm not sure why this person sent these kids to jail.
- 7:12I didn't really dig too deep into it,
- 7:14but he was found guilty of doing so and getting kickbacks
- 7:17to the tune of $2.1 million over that time for doing so.
- 7:23Now, my question is, why in the hell is Joe Biden
- 7:27granting pardons and commuting sentences
- 7:31for people who are involved in child abuse
- 7:37and child pornography?
- 7:40Make that make sense, Joe.
- 7:43Joe, Joe, Joe Wee, Joe Biden, listen.
- 7:49Why are you supporting those who abuse children
- 7:54and peddle child pornography?
- 7:58Can you answer that question?
- 7:59I mean, look, the Chinese spies are bad enough
- 8:01that you just went ahead and pardoned those people,
- 8:03but child pornographers and child abusers?
- 8:07Joe, like, what the fuck, man?
- 8:10Like, seriously, what are you doing?
- 8:12I don't think I'm ever going to understand this decision.
- 8:16And I can't assume to know the reasons why
- 8:19outside of other people possibly being implicated,
- 8:23But, you know, I also have to say that if that was the question, then I'm sure these people would be Epstein'd in jail.
- 8:31But again, all I can do is assume I have no idea.
- 8:36I have no idea why Biden is supporting child pornographers and child abusers.
- 8:46But let's move on to preemptive pardons.
- 8:49You see, this was a rumor, kind of a rumor.
- 8:54People were talking about it, but now it's not a rumor.
- 8:57See, even Corrine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, tried to sidestep the question when she was asked.
- 9:06Are preemptive pardons on the table at President Gistroon?
- 9:09I'm just not going to get ahead of the president.
- 9:14Certainly, the president is looking at reviewing next steps.
- 9:19and there will be more to come.
- 9:20I'm just not going to get ahead of the president.
- 9:21I'm not going to get into hypotheticals from here.
- 9:23So she's not going to get ahead of the president.
- 9:25That was not a statement of denial, by the way.
- 9:27She just said, I'm not going to get ahead of the president.
- 9:29She's saying, I'm not going to speak for him,
- 9:31or I'm not going to confirm nor deny.
- 9:36But did say that President Biden is looking into the next steps.
- 9:40Like, hold on, hold on.
- 9:42Hold on there, Corinne Jean-Pierre.
- 9:46What does that actually mean?
- 9:47What are you saying?
- 9:47Are you saying yes, but not really?
- 9:51That's a no, but not a no?
- 9:53Well, or is it a more than likely, or is it really just a I can't confirm nor deny, which
- 9:59is also an admission of yes, kind of, not really, but with a big wink wink, if you know
- 10:06what I'm saying.
- 10:07So as far as these preemptive pardons are concerned, who are they for?
- 10:13Well, it's been said.
- 10:15Now, I got a little information on this from RT.com News.
- 10:19Now, this wasn't the only place or source for this info.
- 10:23It just happens to be the source I'm using right now in relaying this information.
- 10:31So, who has been, and according to anonymous sources,
- 10:36who has been considered or is being talked about as being granted a preemptive pardon,
- 10:41a get-out-of-jail-free card
- 10:44that you can save for later.
- 10:46Well, among those,
- 10:47among those, and it's of no surprise,
- 10:50is Dr. Anthony Fauci.
- 10:52Now,
- 10:53it's been shown,
- 10:57it's been revealed
- 10:59that Fauci had lied to the world in regard to the COVID vaccine efficacy its safety and of course in everything else he did in trying to advise those
- 11:15of how to handle the pandemic, which was more negative than positive.
- 11:21But, of course, he is on the table for receiving a preemptive pardon.
- 11:27Again, a get out of jail free card.
- 11:30Also, there is General Mark Milley, who, if everyone recalls, called his Chinese correspondent prior to the 2020 U.S. election, and then after January 6.
- 11:44And Trump has considered Mark Milley to be a traitor in Trump's eyes.
- 11:50Also, up for a preemptive pardon or get-out-of-jail-free pass is Liz Cheney.
- 11:55so she was a former Republican
- 11:57that joined the Democrat Party
- 12:00and she was a part of the January 6th committee
- 12:03so there's another person
- 12:06who is up for a preemptive part
- 12:08now what's important to know about Liz Cheney
- 12:10is she literally destroyed
- 12:13and withheld evidence
- 12:14in support of January 6th
- 12:19not being an insurrection
- 12:21let me repeat that
- 12:22Liz Cheney destroyed and held back evidence in regards to the January 6th committee hearings.
- 12:31But she's going to get a get out of jail free card from President Joseph Dipshit Biden.
- 12:43Also, up for consideration, and this is a rumor, by the way, I haven't seen any other
- 12:49sources as far as news outlets that have confirmed this, but there are plenty, plenty of rumors
- 12:56floating around about Hillary Clinton possibly receiving a preemptive pardon as well. Again,
- 13:03I can't confirm this one, but the rumors are definitely swirling around. Now, what's important
- 13:09to note about these preemptive pardons, which I find interesting, that would even be something
- 13:15that Joe Biden would consider is that this granting of a preemptive pardon is literally
- 13:22an admission of guilt. It automatically confirms that the people in question receiving these get
- 13:32out of jail free cards are literally guilty of the crimes that everybody has accused him of.
- 13:40And it seems that Joe Biden is really doing everything he can to go out of his way to protect all of his buddies, all of his buddies from being convicted and thrown into jail and question so that, you know, hey, let's take care of the family, as they say, or should I say, the political mafia.
- 14:02This whole thing seems like a scene out of The Godfather,
- 14:06where Biden, who is Michael Corleone,
- 14:09is going out of his way to just preemptively grant pardons
- 14:15and commute sentences in order to just take care of his own.
- 14:21And he can do it because he is the head honcho.
- 14:24He's in charge of everything,
- 14:25and he can literally do what he wants before.
- 14:29he is done with the job of being president of the United States.
- 14:35And if you consider, if you further consider how egregious these accusations and sentences
- 14:42have been, to me, this is just further proof that Biden himself is absolutely corrupt and
- 14:50has been corrupt his entire political career.
- 14:54Speaking of corruption, now let's move on to taxpayer dollars and how your government is using your money.
- 15:03And of course, I am talking about foreign aid.
- 15:06Foreign aid just seems to be raining out of the sky.
- 15:09U.S. is just throwing it around willy-nilly, letting anybody get a piece for whatever they deem fit for their use.
- 15:18But when it comes to the Ukraine, you can argue there is a legitimate case.
- 15:23I mean, they are at war against a superpower.
- 15:26People are dying.
- 15:29Russia is encroaching on their territory, their sovereignty,
- 15:32and very much wants to make Ukraine another territory, province, state,
- 15:40whatever you call it.
- 15:41Basically, they want to make it a part of Russia.
- 15:43Putin has made this very clear.
- 15:46But at what point do we start to question the amount of money being spent?
- 15:51where is the accountability?
- 15:55To this day,
- 15:56not all of it has been accounted for.
- 15:59And while they do list and track funds
- 16:03under the programs or packages as they're named,
- 16:07it doesn't really go into a lot of detail
- 16:11as to where every single dollar has been sent
- 16:15or even spent on.
- 16:17Now, there's a website
- 16:19that I encourage everybody to go to.
- 16:21It's called foreignassistance.gov.
- 16:24So that's foreignassistance.gov.
- 16:27I think I'll try to go ahead and include these links.
- 16:31I'm going to go to a few different pages on here,
- 16:33but I'll go ahead and include the foreignassistance.gov link
- 16:36into the show notes so that you can go ahead
- 16:38and see for yourself what's going on.
- 16:41Now, what's great about this website,
- 16:42outside of tracking government spending
- 16:44or, well, foreign assistance packages,
- 16:46you can break it down.
- 16:48There's a lot of filters.
- 16:48So you can go ahead and track it by country, and then you can go ahead and see the amount of money by year that has been spent.
- 16:57And you could go ahead and even dissect it further by disbursements versus obligations.
- 17:05And so this is a great website to get your information into where your taxpayer dollars are being sent.
- 17:15But as far as the Ukraine is concerned, you see, here's the thing.
- 17:20Right now, we don't really know the total amount because for the fiscal years of 2023 and 2024,
- 17:26they still haven't reported everything that has been sent to the Ukraine.
- 17:33Now, I did find that as of November 2024, specifically, well, not even November,
- 17:39I believe as of September 30th, excuse me, I had to correct myself there.
- 17:43As of September 30th of 2024, the U.S.-Ukraine response funding totals have been somewhere around $183 billion.
- 17:56Now, if I go back to the foreignassistance.gov website, I was able to add up everything from 2020 up to 23.
- 18:07Now, remember and keep in mind that not everything has been reported as of 2023 and especially as of 2024.
- 18:17But if we just take those numbers alone, the amount realistically up to 2022 and part of 2023 had been $30,606,101,921.
- 18:35And so between that time and September of 23, that amount had shot up to $183 billion,
- 18:44but we're not done because as of literally a few days ago,
- 18:50there have been additional funding allocated and sent.
- 18:56There have been packages upwards of $20 billion sent to Kiev.
- 19:02But this was supposedly or allegedly Russian assets that were seized by the U.S.
- 19:10So that money may not necessarily be taxpayer money, but I guarantee that a forensic audit is definitely in order here.
- 19:21Okay, so there's also been a $500 million arms aid package sent to Ukraine.
- 19:27And recently, there has also been a $988 million package allotted by the DOD.
- 19:39So where is all this money actually going to?
- 19:44I know it said it's going to the Ukraine, but where is it going to?
- 19:48What exactly is that money being spent on?
- 19:52Is it all going to military assistance and humanitarian aid as it should be?
- 19:58Or is it being funneled to the pockets of American politicians, NGOs, and Zelensky himself?
- 20:09Now, while those accusations remain to be unproven, yet, and I do say yet,
- 20:15what about another country that has been a major recipient of U.S. funding?
- 20:19In fact, a major recipient since it became a sovereign nation in 1948.
- 20:27And if you know your history and you can connect the dots, you know I'm talking about Israel.
- 20:32You see, Israel has also been the recipient of massive amounts of money.
- 20:39And if you go back to that same website, usforeignassistance.gov, you can see that since 2020, I'm going to use the same date ranges, by the way.
- 20:49So from 2020 through 2023, and keep in mind that 23 and 2024, both years are still not fully reported, but they have received on an average of over $3 billion a year.
- 21:10$3 billion a year for a total of $13,230,416,986.
- 21:23But what's more alarming, and I didn't go as far back as 1948,
- 21:28and if you've listened to any of my shows in the past,
- 21:31you will find that I have addressed this before,
- 21:36and I did address all the funding that we have been sending to Israel in the past.
- 21:43So this isn't the first time I've talked about this, by the way.
- 21:47I just want you to be aware of that.
- 21:49But on this website, foreignassistance.gov, if you go back to 2001, all the way back to 2001,
- 21:57up until the partially reported year of 2023 on the foreignassistance.gov website,
- 22:03Israel has been receiving since 2001 an average of billion a year billion a year Now let concentrate on what going on now
- 22:20Let's focus on what's been current, though, just as I did with the Ukraine.
- 22:25You see, a lot of people aren't realizing how much money is being sent to Israel right
- 22:28now.
- 22:30If you want to get more information on that, you can go to a website called cfr.org, and
- 22:37there's an article there that actually breaks this down. In fact, I'm going to leave that link
- 22:42in the show notes as well. So it's cfr.org and there's a nice chart that breaks down the U.S.
- 22:50aid to Israel. And they have four separate charts that you can go over that tracks all this.
- 22:56So the reality is if we're talking currently and obviously since the attack on Israel in October
- 23:067th of 2023. There were additional dollars outside of the standard $3 billion a year
- 23:14that the U.S. sends to Israel. You see, the United States, after October 7th of 2023,
- 23:22enacted legislation providing at least $12.5 billion in direct military aid.
- 23:28There was also $3.8 billion from a bill in March of 2024
- 23:34There's $8.7 billion from a Supplemental Appropriations Act in April of 2024
- 23:42And it's estimated that Israel has received a total of $17.9 billion in U.S. military aid
- 23:51just between the periods of October 7, 2023 up to 2024.
- 24:00Actually, as of April 2024.
- 24:03And that doesn't include anything else that has been sent to Israel since April of 2024.
- 24:10Now, add that additional $17 billion, and Israel has received since 2020 $31,130,416,986.
- 24:22Let's add that to what we've sent the Ukraine thus far and what has been reported since 2020,
- 24:29the amount of $180 billion, or $180 billion.
- 24:33And that total amount to Israel and Ukraine comes out to $211,130,416,986.
- 24:48Now, there are 330 million individuals reportedly living in the United States of America.
- 24:54And of course, there's a large percentage of that that we also have to chalk up to being children.
- 24:58but let's break down the population
- 25:02by reported families in the United States of America
- 25:05and this is data that has been reported as of
- 25:082023 and it states that there are
- 25:1183.8 million families in
- 25:14the United States so
- 25:17if we divide that astronomical
- 25:19number that has been sent to Israel and Ukraine
- 25:22since 2020 by the amount
- 25:26of families that have been reported in the US that's
- 25:28$2,519,000 for every family.
- 25:37Now, granted, that's not a lot of money if you break it down by the years
- 25:40between 2020 and 2024 or 23, whichever it is that has been reported
- 25:49fiscally for those years to the government agencies.
- 25:53But regardless, it does show the astronomical amount of money that has been sent just to those two nations.
- 26:00And listen up here.
- 26:03That's not the total amount that the U.S. sends out to countries around the world.
- 26:08We fund over 200 countries.
- 26:11As of the last reports that I found in 2024, we have sent aid to 174 countries, about 174 countries.
- 26:21Think about that.
- 26:22If we're sending this amount of money to Israel and Ukraine and you add up everything else that's been sent out to the other 174 some odd countries, imagine what could be done with that money in the United States.
- 26:39We have victims of natural disasters that can't even get their lives back.
- 26:45But yet the government always finds a way to pull money out of their asses to send to foreign nations,
- 26:51completely ignoring the needs of Americans, Americans who give the government this money
- 27:00via the tax dollars taken from our fucking paychecks.
- 27:05And to further put this into perspective for you, this comes out to $52,782,604,246 for every year since 2020.
- 27:25For the past four years in a row, over $52 billion has been sent to just these two nations.
- 27:34just Israel in Ukraine.
- 27:37Now, if the Biden administration themselves have not yet,
- 27:41have not proven their disdain for the American people
- 27:44and their abusive powers
- 27:46by mishandling your hard-earned tax dollars
- 27:51that you've given to the government
- 27:52and supporting, apparently supporting pedophiles,
- 27:58child pornography peddlers,
- 28:01and people who abuse children
- 28:03by granting pardons and commuting sentences,
- 28:08and furthermore, considering preemptive pardons,
- 28:12again, get-out-of-jail-free cards to dirty, corrupt politicians.
- 28:18If that's not enough, Joe Biden has reached his big, old, ugly hand out
- 28:24and slapped you all in the face one more time.
- 28:28Remember the wall that Trump wanted to build to protect America?
- 28:33by actually establishing a physical border.
- 28:36Remember that?
- 28:37In Trump's first term,
- 28:39the Democrat Party did everything they could
- 28:42to make sure that this was not achieved.
- 28:44They literally put a halt to construction,
- 28:46even though all the materials have been purchased.
- 28:49And guess what has been done with all that material?
- 28:52Absolutely nothing.
- 28:53It's just been sitting around since 2017 or so, I believe.
- 28:58Maybe it went back to 2016.
- 28:59I don't remember when he actually started that project,
- 29:02But regardless, the Democrat party went out of their way to make sure that Trump did not achieve what should have been done for so many years before.
- 29:11They would label him a racist, a xenophobe.
- 29:14They threw every name they could at him to get the American people to hate Trump and to pull their support from Trump and finishing an actual physical border wall.
- 29:28Well, the materials that have already been bought, that have been purchased for an alarming amount of money, have been just laid to waste.
- 29:37Well, not really waste.
- 29:39Look, the material was made to last, so it wasn't wasted, but it was wasted in the sense that it was never used.
- 29:46Well, lo and behold, as of December 11th, just a few days ago, these materials were found on the government auction website.
- 29:57That's right.
- 29:57These materials are being auctioned off.
- 29:59Instead of being utilized or kept aside and stored so that once Trump is back in office, he can finish this project,
- 30:09the Biden administration chose to take all of this material and put it on a government auction website.
- 30:15We're talking grade A steel.
- 30:18were 32-foot sections, literally almost 33-foot high by 8-foot wide sections
- 30:28of steel panels made to complete the border wall
- 30:35are on auction in lots of four or five,
- 30:39starting at an ever-so-low price of $5.
- 30:47That's right.
- 30:48You can buy this large amount of steel with a value that is much higher than what they're asking for, for a low price of only $5 per lot of five steel panels.
- 31:05This is an obvious slab in the face to all Americans.
- 31:08And a literal message to Trump that, hey, if you want to finish what you started, it's going to cost you because you're going to have to start over.
- 31:18And we're not going to give you any support whatsoever.
- 31:21So it seems that the Biden administration is doing everything they can to further jeopardize the United States by abusing taxpayer dollars, by pardoning child pornographers and child abusers, Chinese spies, and granting preemptive pardons to people who have committed crimes against the world, such as Anthony Fauci.
- 31:45Now, he hasn't granted preemptive pardons to people like Fauci yet, but the fact that it's even being considered and not being denied is an absolute admission of guilt and further supports the accusations of Biden himself and his family being traitors to the United States of America.
- 32:05Now, let's switch gears here and let's talk about drones.
- 32:10Let's talk about drones.
- 32:11Let's talk about all the sightings of unmanned aircraft,
- 32:17large groups of drones that have been seen in the skies on the East Coast.
- 32:22We're talking New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York.
- 32:26And there's also been sightings in other areas.
- 32:30Now, everybody's wondering what's going on,
- 32:32but the government has no answers for it.
- 32:34And in fact, many people are saying,
- 32:36oh, they're just, you know, everyone's just being hysterical.
- 32:39They're seeing what they want to see.
- 32:41But yet there are countless videos out there of these unmanned aircraft
- 32:44that don't fly like a manned aircraft, like an airplane,
- 32:48or even maybe a helicopter.
- 32:51Drones are extremely fast.
- 32:53They can move in and out almost in an instant.
- 32:57And manned aircraft just do not do that.
- 33:00Now, it very well could be that these sightings have now become overblown.
- 33:05Maybe it is a case of mass hysteria.
- 33:08Maybe there's been enough sightings,
- 33:10but because of the sightings and videos
- 33:12that have been floating around social media maybe people are looking up into the skies and seeing what they want to see It possible It happened before but not so fast
- 33:24Here's a CBS news clip that I found where they had somebody ask the locals and also
- 33:32try to assess the situation on what's going on down there in New Jersey regarding these
- 33:36sightings.
- 33:36I want to play a bit of this clip.
- 33:37Yeah.
- 33:38And one thing we know for certain is that people are certainly talking about this.
- 33:41Speaking of those concerns, we do know that a number of mayors across the state of New Jersey are in a closed door meeting right now,
- 33:48trying to address and get to the bottom of what exactly they should be doing in response to these drones.
- 33:54We have heard over the past few days that these drones are not posing a security threat to local communities,
- 34:00although that has not done much to ease concerns amongst the residents all throughout New Jersey, Staten Island and New York.
- 34:09green. And Tom, are these seen in any proximity to any sort of high priority sites for the United
- 34:16States? Yeah, well, I mean, Mendham, New Jersey is a perfect example of that. We are just 15 minutes
- 34:23from Donald Trump's national golf course. We are also very close to a military base where these
- 34:32drones have been seen time and time again. We're told that these drones are often popping up right
- 34:37around dusk in the dark. And then by the time people pick up their phones to document them,
- 34:44they're gone. And so it's largely a mystery still. Hopefully we'll get some answers in the coming
- 34:49days. Reed. This is over my house right now. What is that? It's the million dollar question
- 34:56baffling New Jersey residents looking skyward. They're just pacing back and forth going very
- 35:01slow. Since last month, dozens of drones mysteriously hovering in the skies at night.
- 35:06Near Morris County, the FAA has now ordered two temporary flight restrictions prohibiting drones over this military base and Trump National Golf Club after receiving reports of unexplained activity.
- 35:18Today, Homeland Security and state police met with some New Jersey officials, including Mayor Jim Nayley.
- 35:24I truly don't believe they have any idea where the drones are coming from.
- 35:27Many still have questions, including Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who says individuals with high security clearance have a theory about where the drones come from.
- 35:36Their concern is that a mothership has left from Iran weeks ago, coinciding about the time somewhere along the area of the United States.
- 35:48It doesn't mean they're right off the coast.
- 35:50But in a briefing today, Pentagon officials dismissed the claim outright.
- 35:53We have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.
- 36:00In Mendham, New Jersey, Olivia DiMatteo's coffee shop is right near the sensitive locations where the drones have been spotted.
- 36:06How big are these things? You know, are they different sizes?
- 36:11They are the size of small cars, like almost like a Mini Cooper or a Ford Escape size.
- 36:16So it's not something that a kid is buying off of Amazon and flying around as a prank.
- 36:21Like, it's way, way past that.
- 36:24And we're here in front of Picatinny Arsenal.
- 36:27It provides munitions products for all branches of the U.S. military.
- 36:31It's also one of those sensitive sites that these drones have flown close to.
- 36:35And Nora, both lawmakers we spoke to today say one of these drones needs to be taken down safely so they can get some answers.
- 36:43Okay, so after watching this video, it seems to be confirmed by residents that, no, they're not commercial aircraft.
- 36:52They're not anything that has been normally been spotted in the skies over New Jersey.
- 36:58But we do have to ask the question, especially with the military installation within the area and the sightings of these drones in and around that military installation, could this just be new experimental drone technology that is being tested by the U.S. government, but the U.S. government just doesn't want to tell anybody?
- 37:21I think that is a much more plausible story than drones being sent here all the way from Iran.
- 37:29Like, come on.
- 37:31If the U.S. truly, I mean truly, got a whiff of Iran coming within any distance of the United States,
- 37:43the United States would be all over Iran.
- 37:47We'd be invading them right now and doing everything we can to take them out.
- 37:51That would give the United States government the excuse they need to the American public
- 37:57to go ahead and wipe Iran off the face of the earth.
- 38:00But that's not what's happening.
- 38:03And so I don't believe it's Iran sending drones over to the United States to hover over military
- 38:11installations.
- 38:11It's just not happening.
- 38:12This very well could just be United States military technology being tested.
- 38:18Now, there's another report by the BBC that looked into what's going on as well.
- 38:25And I'm going to go ahead and read a lot of that report and try to see if there's anything else that might have been uncovered.
- 38:34According to this BBC article, they asked a question, where have the drones been spotted?
- 38:39Okay, so dozens of drone sightings have been reported over New Jersey since November 18th, according to local authorities.
- 38:45So this has been going on for about over a month now.
- 38:48It says the drones were initially spotted near the Raritan River, a waterway which feeds into the Round Valley Reservoir, which is the largest in New Jersey.
- 38:57All right, so that's important to note.
- 38:58So drones that are looking over a major water source.
- 39:02It says that the sightings soon spread to other parts of the state, including New Jersey's coast.
- 39:08Some of the flights were spotted near Picatinny Arsenal,
- 39:11which is what I was just discussing earlier,
- 39:13which is a sensitive military research facility.
- 39:15Again, research facility.
- 39:16So I think I'm going to hold to my theory
- 39:19that this is just U.S. military technology being tested,
- 39:22but let me read on and see what else they may have found.
- 39:25It says, in nearby New York City,
- 39:27several drones were reported flying over the Bronx on December 12th.
- 39:32It says that in Maryland,
- 39:34Former Republican Governor Larry Hogan claimed he saw what appeared to be dozens of drones over his residence in Davidsonville, about 25 miles from Washington, D.C.
- 39:44It's also important to note that in late November, the United States Air Force also confirmed that unidentified drones were spotted over three U.S. air bases in the U.K.
- 39:54so the U.S. Air Force themselves are identifying these
- 39:59as drones that may not be part of military operations
- 40:05but that doesn't explain the drones flying in U.S. airspace
- 40:09over U.S. soil
- 40:11and so far nobody knows where the drones are coming from
- 40:14or at least no one's admitting to it
- 40:16and it's not been confirmed that it is any foreign nation
- 40:23running operations.
- 40:25But as I said, the chances of that ever even happening
- 40:29are pretty much zero.
- 40:33They're pretty much zero.
- 40:34So I think it still might just be
- 40:37U.S. military technology being tested.
- 40:41And again, these drones,
- 40:42they're not something that you could just order on Amazon
- 40:44or that any hobbyist would normally have.
- 40:46It's been reported these things are the size of small vehicles.
- 40:49That's pretty big.
- 40:51That is not a tiny object whatsoever.
- 40:53and there have been multiple drones sighted.
- 40:57Now, what did the U.S. White House have to say?
- 41:00Now, you heard a little bit of the response
- 41:02in the previous video I played from CBS
- 41:04and here's a more recent address by the U.S. White House.
- 41:08We're going to play that for you right now.
- 41:10Now, finally, I just want to add a few comments
- 41:14on the reports of drone activity here on the East Coast,
- 41:16particularly in and around New Jersey.
- 41:19We have no evidence at this time
- 41:21that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat,
- 41:26or have a foreign nexus.
- 41:29The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings,
- 41:33and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources
- 41:37using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.
- 41:42Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities,
- 41:48We have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings.
- 41:57To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.
- 42:06All right, that's just a pile of bullshit right there.
- 42:09so you're trying to say that a person doesn't know the difference between a manned jet passenger jet versus a drone
- 42:20I mean it's pretty easy to see the difference if you if you spot either of them flying in the skies
- 42:24and when you see drones in quantities of six or more grouped together doing maneuvers and whatnot
- 42:32Yeah, that's definitely not commercial aircraft.
- 42:37Also, Kirby goes on to say that basically we can't tell you what we know because we don't know anything.
- 42:44But then again, we're not saying we don't know anything.
- 42:46But based on the evidence available to the public, there's no evidence of where these things are coming from.
- 42:55And that don't believe what you're hearing.
- 42:58But again, we're saying, but we're not saying.
- 43:00Typical government bullshit
- 43:03Now I don't believe that this is
- 43:06Aliens or Russians or
- 43:09Iranians
- 43:10I believe it's the US government themselves
- 43:12I personally think that
- 43:13They are testing their own technologies
- 43:16But that does little
- 43:18That does little
- 43:19To ease the public's concern
- 43:22And the US government just needs to stop lying
- 43:24And admit that hey
- 43:26You know what we're just testing military technology
- 43:28Fine
- 43:30just say it and move on
- 43:32that's all you gotta do
- 43:34period
- 43:35alright everybody that's the show
- 43:39that is episode 52
- 43:40thanks for hanging in there
- 43:41and listening to all of my theories
- 43:44and rhetoric
- 43:45but I appreciate all of you
- 43:48and have a great day
- 44:00Get down.
